"These are all people from different walks of life, different skills and and levels of masteries in their own disciplines. It feels like [Democrats] are sticking to the old rules. But we have a set of new rules I believe the [leaders] who are vocal are definitely making waves and doing what they're supposed to do, but I think there are others who are still on the fence."
"Once martial law goes into place, we would be under that threat, and we don't know what the end of it looks like really, other than changing the constitution, which I think is easier done than we thought ever could be. This movement may turn into more than No Kings. It may turn into saving lives, period saving our life, saving our freedom to be United States citizens because anybody right now can be told you're not a citizen any more."
A Native American protester from the Omaha and Pueblo of Laguna communities, now living in Washington DC, spoke at the No Kings protest about threats to democracy. Speakers warned that harmful legislation and policies could reshape the country's future and erode democratic protections. Activists described a coalition of people from diverse backgrounds pushing for new rules and full political commitment from leaders. Concerns included the risk of martial law, potential constitutional changes, and the immediate impacts on daily life such as health insurance and other basic protections. The movement aims to protect citizenship, freedom, and lives.
